When Kirk was killed righteous conservatives said on social media and elsewhere that they would never forget him and would remember and honor him forever, and there were even some ridiculous claims that he might become a legendary right-wing icon like MLK or RFK, Sr. or Malcolm X or so on have been for liberals. And yet we're about 3 months from his death and conservatives have already largely forgotten about him, except whenever his wife gets in the news for engaging in very public spats and hugging up prominent GOP pols and players like JD Vance. People like MLK and Malcolm X and RFK are still celebrated generations later, I seriously doubt that Kirk will be discussed at all outside being a possible crossword puzzle question.
